Wow! I knew my 2 yr old 12 lb rescue Pomsky was different than any dog I'd had before, but your video helped me see he's normal for himself. I love how wicked smart he is, and the aggression he was allowed to have by whomever, is significantly better with a quiet home, lotsa exercise, and calm pets. Oh yeah, and "No Bite Mommy" jail time-outs. LOL
They're not lap dogs? My husband calls ours my 40+ lbs lap dog. She jumps on the couch and then let's me know that I'd better get my duppa over there so she can cuddle. Cuddle as in plop her 40+ lbs self right on top of me.
Thank you for this video. I've had a Malamute, a small Eskimo and still have a Pomeranian. I was applying to adopt this incredibly beautiful male Pomsky puppy on Petfinder. He is Peach colored with blue eyes. Magical fox dog! Woweee! But I watched your video, and I ended up changing my mind. If I were younger and had more energy, I'd get one. But I'm a little older now and realized that I just want a calm, mellow lap dog companion more anything. Luckily that puppy has gotten over 10 applications for adoption, so I'm sure he will get a good home. I'm sad, but a bit relieved. Appreciate the public service you are doing here.
Thanks for the thanks. There was very little meaningful content when we were looking at getting a Pomsky, aside from thousands of pictures of cute Pomsky puppies. We had a rude awakening when Beedi showed up. She's 3 now. Still a lot of energy and still requires lots of walks, but a lot more manageable than when she was 8 weeks-old.
As a first time fur dad, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into lol. My Pomsky has been a nightmare at times, but I’m not gonna lie, I’m obsessed with him and although I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t have him any other way … I love him now, so it’s too late … but not sure I would have gotten him if I knew everything beforehand lol
ME TOO hahaha. I got mine from a husky breeder and she said she was breeding "purebred huskies". As a first time dog owner we later found out she's a pomsky. We still love her to death.
Awesome vid! Owning a Pomsky has been one of the best choices in my life, HOWEVER it can be a ton of work if you underestimate their need to be mentally stimulated- I believe this was mentioned in a prior video. My furbaby is 6 mos, super sweet but it's terrifying how smart she is...I call her my escaped military pup/experiment. They NEED puzzles, etc...don't be surprised if you have to start off at intermediate level. If you are serious and have the time and patience, a Pomsky can bring so much joy and laughter to your home.
I have 7 of them. They are all different yet all incredibly smart. One in fact is beyond smart. He knows how to open all doors, even round handled doors. One challenge for him is the screen door, And I don’t want him to learn that one....! Lol.
I have an 11 month old Pomsky who is 75/25 (mostly Husky). Everything in this video is SPOT ON lol! Her name is Elektra, and she is honestly sweet as pie to everyone and everything. I get to a point where when she does certain things that can be frustrating, I just laugh because to her it is a game when she has something of mine I need back. I love your videos, keep it up (:
I adopted a pomsky and yes I can attest to the high energy!! Sky seems to be able to go on for hours on end! But he’s very smart and such a social butterfly! I love having a pomsky!
Agree completely about them not being lap dogs, them being destructive, and very high energy. My Pomsky is also very stubborn. He’s is learning to be obedient with me, but he is a monster with others who watch him for me 😩 He’s a super sweet dog and loving toward ppl, but if he is not mentally stimulated or having fun, he becomes a monster 😂
We get our two pomskies the SuperChewer Barkbox. They love it and await the box every month. They love getting the new toys, treats, and bones. They hardly ever destroy the toys and if they do barkbox will replace it no matter how long you have had it. Love my pomskies. They love the toys so much. They both know some words and they tilt their heads to words like walk, treat, bone, ride, and many more words. They shed so much which is horrible when you wanna wear black or dark colors.
I have a Pomsky named Polaris, who is 17 months. I adopted her at 9 weeks. Your video is spot on. She is more clingy with me, and the dominant dog in our home. I have an Am. Staff. Terr and she keeps him in shape playing in the yard. She has her moments of wanting all of the attention, especially if I am giving attention to our other dog. Then she just wants to be alone for awhile when she is resting. My Am Staff Terr helps to tire her out, and calm her. She has been good with my 5 yr old, but they are both learning boundaries and respect. The destruction was something I was not prepared for. She did chew up her potty pads. I expected her to do some chewing, like most puppies do, but she takes it to the next level. I have two sofas that she has chewed the arm rests up, the corners, some of the cushions. I have given up on these sofas, and accept that I will have to buy new ones. My question is, do Ponskies grow out of this stage when they get older? My Am. Staff stopped chewing on everything at about 2 yrs old. I am hoping and wondering if she will grow out of her chewing up my furniture stage. I would like to be new sofas. Any info and advise would be apricated. Thanks
2 1/2 seemed to be the age where Beedi matured a lot. She still has lots of energy and still needs long walks, but she is a lot more reasonable than when she was a puppy. Still very stubborn, but no longer destructive. You have another year to wait :)
I'm late but this video is so accurate. My pomsky pup is hard headed af.. she only uses the bathroom in the cage. No matter how many times i take her out during the day. It's so frustrating and I'm current battling with finding her another home and fighting thru it
I absolutely love pomskies on top of huskies, Pomeranians and other dogs. I've heard that the Pomeranian husky mix can be extremely friendly and also clingy, which makes sense since they've inherited those traits from their purebred counterparts or parents. One of my online friends as a pomsky and I've heard that they can be a great substitute for people who prefss a smaller or mini version of a husky (Though I imagine it requires the right kinf of space at the same time). Pomsky's and Huskies may not necessarily be suited for apartment or condo life though, unless it's a particularly big space and you're in traveling distance with lots of parks
We have a 1yr old and ours is just like your girl I started watching you when yours was small and ours. You are right on the mark. We love ours even tho she is alot of work. Nice seeing your videos again.
Our pomsky is now 8 months old and weighs approximately 32 llbs (our breeder thought he would grow to be 25 lbs). Like you, we had an eskipom previously and there is definitely quite a difference. Alfie has a lot of energy only I find he is not so keen on morning walks. He prefers longer walks in early evening. He loves being in the woods and made out very well tenting with us this summer. He is certainly opinionated, stubborn and a picky eater. Before Alfie I thought all dogs love peanut butter...not Alfie. He is certainly not a lap dog but does have an affectionate side. We wouldn't trade him for anything!
My Pomsky IS most definitely a lap dog. Wants petting and cuddling 100% of the time. Also enjoys getting out and running around and exploring. But in the house, lap dog. If I get tired of her on my lap, I have to force her to get off. Lol.
Pretty accurate. Our boy is named Teddy. He is just over 3 years old now. And almost 40 pounds. He got the pomeranian coat, meaning he has husky markings but is poofy like a pom. So yeah, lots of brushing. I do two or three partial brushings a week so it isn't too much of an ordeal for him. Even though he is almost 40 pounds, he still thinks he is a lap dog. He will climb up in the recliner with you and wiggle around until you make room for him. He also loves to lay on the chaise with someone. Thankfully he wasn't as energetic as your dog is. He did want plenty of play time in the back yard when he was younger but not so much anymore. He loves walks, but doesn't go far because he wants to stop and sniff everything. For an extended period of time. And then turf the grass in the area with all 4 paws. He wasn't too bad with trash, but he did love the wife's shoes when he was a pup. He would take those, and any bowls out through the doggy door to leave them outside. Oh, and he loves everyone. Always looking to make a new friend. And if I don't let him while we are out walking, he whines and cries. But if anyone asks to pet him, he eats it up. Leaning into it and just looking as adorable as possible so they won't quit. In the winter when it is cold and snowy, and in the summer when it is hot, he doesn't get a walk. Too stressful on him when it is 90+ and too stressful on me when it is below 35. So I take him for car rides. That way he gets the mental stimulation he needs as well as exercise running back and forth across the back seat hanging his head out the window. Just like huskies, you don't have too much trouble with them chewing if you don't let them get bored. You let them get bored and they will get destructive.
Thank you for all the great info. It definitely let me know that right now is not the right time to look into getting a Pomsky as a new family member. I really appreciate the info provided
Pomskys are half husky. Huskies have wolf in them. Therefore Pomskys have wolf in them. You have to set up a "pack order" when you bring your Pomskys home. There has to be an Alfa male and or female who is the boss. I have a Husky/Siberian Spitz and he looks like a mini husky. I trained her to pull a wagon for enrichment and exercise. She doesn't pull musch or often anymore due to her being in her 13th year. She was born in my living room. She is my soul friend. She has saved me from attack twice.
Huskies don't have wolf in them. They are completely domesticated dogs. In fact, there are many other dog breeds that are far more related to a wolf than huskies, including malamutes and GSD. I have 2 huskies and people always seem to ask if they are wolves. The thing is that they don't even look like wolves. They are was too small, they are not that leggy like a wolf, and their heads are way too small. Their personalities are stubborn, but they are completely domestic and if you are ever around wolves or wolf dogs you will notice their behaviors are extremely different.
We have a 2.5 yr old male Pomsky and an 11 yr old Pomeranian male. Both have lots of energy and play well together. We were alittle worried about the age difference but they really have become good friends. Our Pomsky was stubborn and a terror as a puppy but very friendly. As he is maturing his behavior has much improved, he is trained and gets into trouble less and less. His bond with my family has become stronger and he has much love to give.
I enjoyed watching this video & it’s great that it’s informative of the pros & cons. 8 years ago my kids wanted a Pomsky as our second dog because the online pictures looked soooo cute (puppy pics). I did research but there wasn’t much info around but it lead me to discover the Finnish Lapphund breed. I researched that breed and it was the right fit for my family. Pleased we did as we now have two Lappies 8 & 2. Look similar to some Pomsky’s but are very very different.
Thanks for the great pomsky content, gents. Your videos were very useful in our decision to get a pomsky puppy, and understanding what to expect from him.
This is great guys! You are spot on, as a Pomsky owner I was agreeing through the whole video! 💖 Especially the daycare part. I love when I take him and it does last until the near day! #lifesaver 🙏🤣
I love my pomsky he’s my son, I wouldn’t trade him in for the world though at night I didn’t know how much they like to howl 😂 and they’re super smart he knew how to get out of his cage the first night and he is able to get to things very easily even when blocked. The fur is everywhere but they make up for their cuteness. To all pomsky owners we should make a group chat, I want to see more Pomsky’s.
We have a pomsky. She is a love. She is sturdy and healthy. 15 in. at shoulder, looks like a fox, smart as heck, big husky snowshoe paws. In contrast to video, our Ginger is very cuddly. Like velcro to us (in a good way)!
I have a Husky and it sounds like my girl all the way. Lol expect for a lot more fur and howling. I have had many dogs before her and would not reccomend any Husky or cross breed to first time pet parents. It takes 2 of us to meet her needs. The energy is extreme! Thanks for educating on the Pomsky. My girl is a rescue. I got her from someone who got her from someone who got her from the pound. Please please think long and hard about any dog so they are not rehomed or dumped. There are plenty of dogs needing adoption! I love her and she's a great dog as long as she is you point out exercised enough.
I ride my bike with the dog. I ride and she runs. It gets her energy out. She will run 1 and occasionally 3 miles once or twice a week. And I do not mean she trots around. She runs! She only stops to wait for me. The rest of her energy is exerted in the back yard fence. She is also cuddly. She is not stubborn like some say huskies are. Her biggest problem is being too excited when meeting new people or dogs. It is like she is frantic to get to them.
@@JamesandLaurent Dusty is turning 8 months in a week. I have grown up with rescues all my life. Never experienced a puppy before and have been in the perfect state of mind for Dusty. Love this Pomsky. He is quite the character.
All so true! Mochi is a little loving monster! Biggest thing I wish I knew is that he makes so much noise! He's so vocal, but not like a husky. He communicates through growling, chuffing and that high pitched Pomeranian yap. Little guy never shuts up!
I adopted a pomperkee (Schipperke and pom).... High spirit, active, very smart and a trickster.... Very loveable, ok with kids not with some men. He is bold and brassy. 15 lbs... Has his own toy box, mostly vegetarian, will eat some raw meat. Had to understand the Schipperke breed... impressive breed... Toby is every inch the Schipperke personally.... color very light tan with white, tail tightly curved over butt. Love him dearly....
Sooo accurate. Mine is not a picky eater, but everything else lines up. 11 mo now. He'll sleep on my lap sometimes if he's really tired, and more attached. More Pom (only 17 lb), but still ALL of the husky energy.
What people need to realize with Pomskies, they are mini Siberian Huskies, plain & simple. I've owned 6 Siberian Huskies throughout my life & there is absolutely 0, none, no difference at all between having a Husky or a Pomsky except for the size. Siberian Huskys have always been my favorite breed, now I have a Pomsky & see what they are, it's a win with me because I get to keep my shoulders and even though Pomskies still can jerk you off balance, it's still not as bad as a Husky jerk.
I’ve got a 6 month old pomsky at home. I thought it was going to be a different ball game when we acquired her. but although she’s such a bad pup sometimes, my wife and kids love her. Just be prepared to replace anything you leave out without direct supervision because a pomsky will chew it up when you least expect it.
My almost 3 year old pomsky loves my 21 year old daughter! He’s definitely chosen her as his human and loves to play, go on walks, and cuddle with my daughter in her bed at night!
Best to get a purebred Pomeranian because they are awesome! All the traits mentioned in this video are Husky traits. Pomeranians are all of the good without the bad and they are adorable too.
3 walks?!?! Mine has to freaking take 6-8 MINIMUM and STILL acts like nothing is happening And for the record, he gets at a minimum 0.5 miles per walk and usually 0.75 to 1 mile if not way more And as for not a lap dog, picky eater, etc...soooooo damn true! The other thing i never understood was just the sheeer amount of barking, yapping, and howling. I knew it would be like a husky or Pomeranian - but holy cow, hes so smart and lets you know when he's hungry, bored, or has to party.....but its usually thru loud loud barking
i wish i'd known what a hard core little heart stealer my daughters pomsky would turn out to be. True she was pretty self centered little toy addict when she was a pup but she grew up to so loving and caring/affectionate and has a unique relationship with each of us in the extended family, we're all pretty much madly in love with her...
I currently have a 5 month old pomsky and my biggest thing with her is that she eats everything. She does not destroy stuff. She will eat anything loose. I have had to buy her a muzzle so that I can take her outside. We couldn’t take her out without her picking stuff up and eating it before we could get it from her. I’ve had many calls to the vet because she has either pooped or thrown up something she has ate. So hopefully now with the muzzle she can get more exercise.
My husband and I when we were younger we had three huskies, we did a lot of sport with them today, at over sixty years old, I fell for a pomsky thinking that its size would be more in line with our age, in fact this cute three month old thing is an electric battery ⚡ and it is sometimes exhausting, in fact I am surprised to see how much she looks like a husky by her behavior, (to the point of going to bury an ear pig that she couldn't finish), we'll have to adapt 😅 that being so, we love it 😍 but I really underestimated the pomsky, thank you for your videos on the pomsky it's very instructive
Oh boy. Me and my family are seriously considering getting a pomsky, and from what I’ve seen, it really all depends on the dog itself. I hear they’re basically wild cards. Should we get one for our family?🤞
I breed pomskys. Have bred them for 7 years. The big difference is where you get your pomsky. Large breeders with many dogs tend to result in pomskys with behavior problems and lack of cuddling. I am a small breeder and my puppies grow up in a house with a family and other dogs teaching them l, us loving on them til they go to their forever home at 8 weeks. My clients tell me all the time ...best dog I have ever had. I'm convinced the early interaction and love a pomsky gets before 8 weeks old has a huge impact on their temperament and behavior. The only thing I agree with is that they do shed...alot.
More by luck than skill, my basenji is a real snuggler - I guess it makes sense. Basenji’s are an African breed and have no undercoat - they get cold easily and really want your body heat. So I have a bunch of coats for her and she has a litterbox to use when it is too cold or rainy outside There are trade offs with every dog Am enjoying hearing about the pomsky!
I have a new pomsky pup and he has been testing my patience more than my 5 yr old. Love him but got damn this dog is wild. Any training tips are highly appreciated.
Just got one. Almost 10 wks old. But I’ve owned a Pomeranian and an American Eskimo in the past. So I think ill be find. I live solo and work from home so he will get plenty of attention and walks!
I have a Pomsky we named him Buddy Bear Payne. I was not aware of what I was getting when I got him. I have had Huskies and we have a Pomchi and I have had chihuahuas and Pomeranians. I did not realize how much more energetic they are. I am still trying to learn about the Pomsky. He is 1 year old. He is up to date on his shots. I do my best to work with him on teaching him things around my work schedule. he is doing alright all things considering. But still I have a lot to learn.
My dog is a half breed of Pomeranian and ancient Greek breed called Kokóni. She is also extremely picky with food. Is it the Pomeranian in her? Because your pomsky also does it
I wish I had known all of these five things before I got my pomsky. I love him. He's wonderful but... For a 6-month-old he is destructive as all get out. He's very smart, but he's as stubborn and determined as the day is long. I'm 68 and he really gives me a go. Keeps me hopping all day long. My husband, my kids and my grandkids too, all have to help because he is almost more than one person can deal with. The other thing that I think should be on your list is that Huskies are very mouthy dogs, not meaning talkative although they can be but they use their mouths a lot and so he has a tendency to grab at things with his teeth. People should be aware of that because if you have small children around it can be very scary for them. I wouldn't trade him for the world, but I do wish I'd had a lot more information before I got him. Thank you for this video. It really proved that I'm not crazy for what I keep thinking I'm seeing!
We wish more people watched our videos before, rather than after getting a Pomsky :). If that makes you feel better, the two milestones we noticed were 18 months, when Beedi clearly started calming down, and 2 1/2 years, when she fully settled. She still has lots of energy. She still needs lots of walks. And she is still stubborn. But she is no longer the crazy puppy from the initial months.
I am so happy to say my pomsky isn't destructive. And is well trained not to touch anything. Taught him since, baby. The only thing is if he sees food on clear sight .... that will be gone less than a minute lol.
As in talking by the Pomsky? They don't talk as much as Huskies do. They do something called the Pomsky scream, which is in-between barking and howling.
My Pomsky must be the best of the best. He was just repossessed by the rescue, as the people made him an outside dog because they had a baby. He is the best. He's very well trained and behaved. The only problem I have is that he's a picky eater, and there are only a few kibbles I will feed my dogs, due to allergies. He does like The Farmer's Dog, so if he needs kibble, we'll have to figure that out with our vet.
We have had Melina Filomena Panzera, our Pomsky, for almost a year. She is like the video says, energetic, can be destructive and very smart. She LOVES TO PLAY and will follow you around bumping your legs with her toys. She is good natured with other dogs for the most-part. Now and then she meets a dog she doesn't care for but that is rare. She uses pee pads like she was born knowing what they are and how to use them. We do kennel her when we are at work. About $5-600 worth in losses around the house inspired me to get her a NICE BIG CRATE. We have a blanket covering the back half of it so it doesn't feel like a cage. She has enough room for a blanket to lay down, toys and chews, a small bowl with some water that rests on one corner of the pee pad. The joke is that it is her Apartment. She loves it. She goes in there to lay down and chew or retrieve a toy and then hangs out. We NEVER use the crate as punishment and she is most agreeable about it. She often tears up the pee pad in the back of the crate, but not the pads we keep on the floor in a corner for "uh-oh!" moments. She is pals with Jynxy, our cat. But she does get a little carried away at times and we have to call her off the cat. But seriously, we joke they are girlfriends. You should see them walking side by side, shoulder to shoulder through the house giving each other loving side glances. Smh. Funny girls. I find that through play she tends to be much more cuddly than she is when we are not playing. I rather appreciate that she doesn't want to be on top of me all day every day. There is no lack of affection from her however. We keep her hair clipped down to just above the undercoat. She overheats very easily. She will just be sitting there, at night, the house is calm and quiet and she is panting. When we keep her hair clipped she doesn't do that at all. In fact she still lays on the cold hardwood floor during the North Eastern winter with her belly pressed to the floor even with a fresh grooming. She is a joy. She is sweet, funny, friendly, social, intelligent, peaceful, a talker times but not a barker. Thank the gods for that. She definitely knows her her true guardian is, but does not leave anyone out. She spreads her affection around evenly. MUSH MUSH!!!! She loves to dig in and pull. We work with her to know how to behave on a leash in some situations, but really the pulling when we take her out to the field to relieve herself isn't such an issue. It is in her nature and we don't advocate taking away all of their natural tendencies to suit us. My philosophy is, "just be you girl". And her philosophy seems to be, "if you're not first, you're last!". haha When I don't want to be pulled I keep her leash very short and have her walk next to me. It takes a few minutes for her to figure out what I want in that moment but it gets better quickly and she is still learning. She uses her teeth to touch everything! She will quickly, but gently take your fingers in her teeth and move your hands. She has the wettest tongue! Golly, if you let her, she will give you a bath. It is rare she bites down at all and only when a toy is involved and it is an accident. She is working on being more careful. She is intelligent. She is energetic and this means socialization and outings are important. She loves to dig in the sand but doesn't seem to want to dig in the dirt so much. She LOVES to swim. She went right in the very first time she was near water. She is skilled as an otter. Ocean waves overtook her once and spooked her a little but she has no fear of them now. Her prey drive is pretty intense so it is unlikely we will be able to walk her off leash...ever. She runs for the joy of running. She has no idea where she is going or what is going on but she shoots off like a rocket. So...safety first. This one will always have to be leashed. Sorry girl.
Pomskies can have a very sensitive stomach as well like Huskies. This was not something I was expecting since my 13 years old Pomeranian has a stomach of steel. My pom was super annoyed with the puppy when we brought him home since all he wanted to do was play and Pomeranians don't play, they like to be pampered. It's been two years so the Pomsky is less hyper now so they get along now.
lMy son and his wife purchased a Pomsky. His name is Onyx. Onyx is so sweet and extremely smart. He knew right off who was the head of the household. My son was fussing at him because he grabbed a paper towel and begin to chew. He ran behind my legs and hid underneath my lounger. I was his protector. Love this little man.
Yes, since they have had him, I just love this little man. He sees me and makes a mad dash as if he is so happy to see me. Then he plays for a few minutes. He loves to go to a large window I have and look outside. I swear he acts just like a baby.
One of my Pomeranians was a very picky eater! He would rather not eat than eat dog food. He actually got sick and dehydrated often from going on a food strikes! It is extremely hard when your dog just won't eat!
Hi there we love your videos. We have just purchased a sweet f2 girl Pomsky and are waiting for her to arrive. We were wondering if we could possibly email you pictures for her as well as her parents to see if you guys could give us an indication of what she could look like when she's grown? The parents look very different so it's hard to know. Thanks. Amber & Matt
One and a half is when he should naturally start calming down (although gradually). But you might want to take him to obedience class if you're not able to figure it out by yourself.
Great video! My white Pomsky is just the same i knew what is was getting into thanks too your videos. But i have no idea if he gets long hair or short hair is there any way too tell which he will get?
You can normally tell by looking at a puppy whether they will have long hair or short hair. We have a video called 'What do adult Pomskies look like' that shows before and after pictures of a lot of Pomskies. Maybe you can find one that looks like yours. ruclips.net/video/mtsWPFgIt1g/видео.html
I have a 8 month old pomsky who’s more of husky. She’s so destructive but she always at all times needs my attention. She whines if she notice’s I’m up and not playing with her. Then she’ll try to steal my socks,under wear, and especially my flip flops. I call her a monster but she’s also just my little baby and I love her so much🥺 also now she can’t sleep without me😭
We have 2 (litter mates) that are 16 weeks. I'm close to retiring and they have more energy than I could ever imagine. Call me crazy but love having them. They can find any piece of lint, paper, etc. I don't notice much hair because I use my Dyson daily and sometime twice. Love my fur babies. They just require more attention than any child ever could and I raised 4 of them.
Not really. If they are more Pomeranian, they might. But if they are more Husky, they often don't. And their bark is not really a bark but not completely a howl either. It's called the Pomsky scream.
Like everything with Pomskies, it depends. Beedi is great with new people. Most of the other Pomskies we know are the same. But we can't talk on behalf of every single Pomsky.
Possibly, but it's hard to predict. If you get it from a breeder, some breed Pomskies that are 3/4 Pom and only 1/4 Husky. If you really want a lapdog, you're better off getting something else.
I have a male 7 mth old pompsky....paper is his thing.. litterally walked out on my back porch and walked back in and the dog had TP my kitchen..litterally grab the edge of the TP from the roller in the bathroom walked around the dinning room and the island in the kitchen...it was still attached to the roll! He also will pick tissue out of tissue boxes if they are in his area of reach. Toy destroyer..along with anything he deems as a toy (i have had pit puppies better behaved then him, lol). Also mine like water a lot he has his own pool or he will try and jump in my tub. Also first time ever having a long haired dog..the struggle is real brush everyday and by end of week I could stuff a pillow.
Excellent information, thanks! But today, we're kind of desperate because our 11 month Pomsky boy is EXTREMELY PICKY for his food. We have tried kibbles dry food different flavors/brands, toppers dry/wet, home made healthy food and even fast food like Flame Broiler or Yoshinoya. And everything works for a day or two and we got to a point where we technically had to chase him with his plate of food !! Does anybody have any idea or suggestions for me please ?? Thanks.
My pomsky is the first dog I've ever had that I just cannot allow off lead other than in my garden, which clearly restricts his amount of exercise. One of the delights of dog ownership in the past has always been going for a walk with a dog that rushes off and keeps checking back to make sure I am still there. I'm never going to be able to enjoy that with this dog. Outside, if his nose is working, his ears switch off.
How is it working out with your cat? Melina, my Pomski, and our cat Jynxy are besties. Melina can get a little overbearing on kitty cat when they play sometimes. But we call her off the cat and peace follows. They do have a prey drive. Cats need escape routes and places to perch where the dog cannot go. We have a 5 story, two tower cat tree. We feed her up there on level 3, her hammock is on level 4. There is also a baby gate blocking off the room with the litter box. This give the cat places to which she can retreat when she doesn't want to play.

Wow! I knew my 2 yr old 12 lb rescue Pomsky was different than any dog I'd had before, but your video helped me see he's normal for himself. I love how wicked smart he is, and the aggression he was allowed to have by whomever, is significantly better with a quiet home, lotsa exercise, and calm pets. Oh yeah, and "No Bite Mommy" jail time-outs. LOL
Haha. We have plenty of other Pomsky videos if you want to learn more about the breed 😂😅😂.
They're not lap dogs? My husband calls ours my 40+ lbs lap dog. She jumps on the couch and then let's me know that I'd better get my duppa over there so she can cuddle. Cuddle as in plop her 40+ lbs self right on top of me.
Thank you for this video. I've had a Malamute, a small Eskimo and still have a Pomeranian. I was applying to adopt this incredibly beautiful male Pomsky puppy on Petfinder. He is Peach colored with blue eyes. Magical fox dog! Woweee! But I watched your video, and I ended up changing my mind. If I were younger and had more energy, I'd get one. But I'm a little older now and realized that I just want a calm, mellow lap dog companion more anything. Luckily that puppy has gotten over 10 applications for adoption, so I'm sure he will get a good home. I'm sad, but a bit relieved. Appreciate the public service you are doing here.
Thanks for the thanks. There was very little meaningful content when we were looking at getting a Pomsky, aside from thousands of pictures of cute Pomsky puppies. We had a rude awakening when Beedi showed up. She's 3 now. Still a lot of energy and still requires lots of walks, but a lot more manageable than when she was 8 weeks-old.
As a first time fur dad, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into lol. My Pomsky has been a nightmare at times, but I’m not gonna lie, I’m obsessed with him and although I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t have him any other way … I love him now, so it’s too late … but not sure I would have gotten him if I knew everything beforehand lol
That's the very reason why we made this video :)
ME TOO hahaha. I got mine from a husky breeder and she said she was breeding "purebred huskies". As a first time dog owner we later found out she's a pomsky. We still love her to death.
Very glad I watched this video, their very glamorized on social media video shorts, but I'm good on getting one of these🤣🤣
@@JamesandLaurent Thank you it was very beneficial😊
Ahh man I just got one I'm in the same boat with a mini or toy pomsky mines all avalanche white just give to me straight what was the worst thing lol
Awesome vid! Owning a Pomsky has been one of the best choices in my life, HOWEVER it can be a ton of work if you underestimate their need to be mentally stimulated- I believe this was mentioned in a prior video. My furbaby is 6 mos, super sweet but it's terrifying how smart she is...I call her my escaped military pup/experiment. They NEED puzzles, etc...don't be surprised if you have to start off at intermediate level. If you are serious and have the time and patience, a Pomsky can bring so much joy and laughter to your home.
Haha. Thank God we learned about puzzles when she was a puppy. They have been a life saver for us :)
I have 7 of them. They are all different yet all incredibly smart. One in fact is beyond smart. He knows how to open all doors, even round handled doors. One challenge for him is the screen door, And I don’t want him to learn that one....! Lol.
@@witchypoo6937 what do you think they’re with cats ?
Joy and laughter is right! I love the cardboard box annihilation show. and tissue box slaughter. Everything is way up high now LMAO
I love how you complement each other in the commentary :D
We try hard :)
I have an 11 month old Pomsky who is 75/25 (mostly Husky). Everything in this video is SPOT ON lol! Her name is Elektra, and she is honestly sweet as pie to everyone and everything. I get to a point where when she does certain things that can be frustrating, I just laugh because to her it is a game when she has something of mine I need back. I love your videos, keep it up (:
Thanks :)
I adopted a pomsky and yes I can attest to the high energy!! Sky seems to be able to go on for hours on end! But he’s very smart and such a social butterfly! I love having a pomsky!
Beedi is 2 1/2 now, and the calming down we were told about is finally starting to happen :)
Wait sky?! Did you get yours from Stephane in Arizona?
Agree completely about them not being lap dogs, them being destructive, and very high energy. My Pomsky is also very stubborn. He’s is learning to be obedient with me, but he is a monster with others who watch him for me 😩 He’s a super sweet dog and loving toward ppl, but if he is not mentally stimulated or having fun, he becomes a monster 😂
Haha. It does get better as they get older 💖💖💖.
We get our two pomskies the SuperChewer Barkbox. They love it and await the box every month. They love getting the new toys, treats, and bones. They hardly ever destroy the toys and if they do barkbox will replace it no matter how long you have had it. Love my pomskies. They love the toys so much. They both know some words and they tilt their heads to words like walk, treat, bone, ride, and many more words. They shed so much which is horrible when you wanna wear black or dark colors.
Thanks for the tip 😍.
I have a Pomsky named Polaris, who is 17 months. I adopted her at 9 weeks. Your video is spot on. She is more clingy with me, and the dominant dog in our home. I have an Am. Staff. Terr and she keeps him in shape playing in the yard. She has her moments of wanting all of the attention, especially if I am giving attention to our other dog. Then she just wants to be alone for awhile when she is resting. My Am Staff Terr helps to tire her out, and calm her. She has been good with my 5 yr old, but they are both learning boundaries and respect. The destruction was something I was not prepared for. She did chew up her potty pads. I expected her to do some chewing, like most puppies do, but she takes it to the next level. I have two sofas that she has chewed the arm rests up, the corners, some of the cushions. I have given up on these sofas, and accept that I will have to buy new ones. My question is, do Ponskies grow out of this stage when they get older? My Am. Staff stopped chewing on everything at about 2 yrs old. I am hoping and wondering if she will grow out of her chewing up my furniture stage. I would like to be new sofas. Any info and advise would be apricated. Thanks
2 1/2 seemed to be the age where Beedi matured a lot. She still has lots of energy and still needs long walks, but she is a lot more reasonable than when she was a puppy. Still very stubborn, but no longer destructive. You have another year to wait :)
I'm late but this video is so accurate. My pomsky pup is hard headed af.. she only uses the bathroom in the cage. No matter how many times i take her out during the day. It's so frustrating and I'm current battling with finding her another home and fighting thru it
good luck!
Thank goodness for your videos. I just got a pomsky and your insights are spot on.
Great to hear! We learned the hard way 😂😅😂.
I absolutely love pomskies on top of huskies, Pomeranians and other dogs. I've heard that the Pomeranian husky mix can be extremely friendly and also clingy, which makes sense since they've inherited those traits from their purebred counterparts or parents. One of my online friends as a pomsky and I've heard that they can be a great substitute for people who prefss a smaller or mini version of a husky (Though I imagine it requires the right kinf of space at the same time). Pomsky's and Huskies may not necessarily be suited for apartment or condo life though, unless it's a particularly big space and you're in traveling distance with lots of parks
Yup, Pomskies bring all the trouble of Huskies, but in a smaller package 😅.
We have a 1yr old and ours is just like your girl
I started watching you when yours was small and ours. You are right on the mark. We love ours even tho she is alot of work. Nice seeing your videos again.
That is awesome! What is her name?
Our pomsky is now 8 months old and weighs approximately 32 llbs (our breeder thought he would grow to be 25 lbs). Like you, we had an eskipom previously and there is definitely quite a difference. Alfie has a lot of energy only I find he is not so keen on morning walks. He prefers longer walks in early evening. He loves being in the woods and made out very well tenting with us this summer. He is certainly opinionated, stubborn and a picky eater. Before Alfie I thought all dogs love peanut butter...not Alfie. He is certainly not a lap dog but does have an affectionate side. We wouldn't trade him for anything!
Haha, at least Beedi loves peanut butter.
My Pomsky IS most definitely a lap dog. Wants petting and cuddling 100% of the time. Also enjoys getting out and running around and exploring. But in the house, lap dog. If I get tired of her on my lap, I have to force her to get off. Lol.
A lot of Pomsky owners are very jealous of you right now 😂😅😁.
Mine are the same. Super spoiled and love to sit in our lap, but they get a lot of outdoor time.
Pretty accurate. Our boy is named Teddy. He is just over 3 years old now. And almost 40 pounds. He got the pomeranian coat, meaning he has husky markings but is poofy like a pom. So yeah, lots of brushing. I do two or three partial brushings a week so it isn't too much of an ordeal for him.
Even though he is almost 40 pounds, he still thinks he is a lap dog. He will climb up in the recliner with you and wiggle around until you make room for him. He also loves to lay on the chaise with someone.
Thankfully he wasn't as energetic as your dog is. He did want plenty of play time in the back yard when he was younger but not so much anymore. He loves walks, but doesn't go far because he wants to stop and sniff everything. For an extended period of time. And then turf the grass in the area with all 4 paws.
He wasn't too bad with trash, but he did love the wife's shoes when he was a pup. He would take those, and any bowls out through the doggy door to leave them outside.
Oh, and he loves everyone. Always looking to make a new friend. And if I don't let him while we are out walking, he whines and cries. But if anyone asks to pet him, he eats it up. Leaning into it and just looking as adorable as possible so they won't quit. In the winter when it is cold and snowy, and in the summer when it is hot, he doesn't get a walk. Too stressful on him when it is 90+ and too stressful on me when it is below 35. So I take him for car rides. That way he gets the mental stimulation he needs as well as exercise running back and forth across the back seat hanging his head out the window.
Just like huskies, you don't have too much trouble with them chewing if you don't let them get bored. You let them get bored and they will get destructive.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
Just found your videos. Just got my Pomsky pup. She's just under 12 weeks. Definitely a lot more energy than my Pomeranian.
Good luck :)
Thank you for all the great info. It definitely let me know that right now is not the right time to look into getting a Pomsky as a new family member. I really appreciate the info provided
We're glad it was helpful! Hopefully, there will be a breed that works better for your family, even if they are not as cute as a Pomsky 😂😅.
Pomskys are half husky. Huskies have wolf in them. Therefore Pomskys have wolf in them. You have to set up a "pack order" when you bring your Pomskys home. There has to be an Alfa male and or female who is the boss. I have a Husky/Siberian Spitz and he looks like a mini husky. I trained her to pull a wagon for enrichment and exercise. She doesn't pull musch or often anymore due to her being in her 13th year. She was born in my living room. She is my soul friend. She has saved me from attack twice.
Thanks for your comment.
Huskies don't have wolf in them. They are completely domesticated dogs. In fact, there are many other dog breeds that are far more related to a wolf than huskies, including malamutes and GSD. I have 2 huskies and people always seem to ask if they are wolves. The thing is that they don't even look like wolves. They are was too small, they are not that leggy like a wolf, and their heads are way too small. Their personalities are stubborn, but they are completely domestic and if you are ever around wolves or wolf dogs you will notice their behaviors are extremely different.
Huskies are not anymore related to wolves than other dogs actually
We have a 2.5 yr old male Pomsky and an 11 yr old Pomeranian male. Both have lots of energy and play well together. We were alittle worried about the age difference but they really have become good friends. Our Pomsky was stubborn and a terror as a puppy but very friendly. As he is maturing his behavior has much improved, he is trained and gets into trouble less and less. His bond with my family has become stronger and he has much love to give.
Beedi is 3 1/2 now and has matured a lot as well. But still lots of energy and lots of walks required.
I enjoyed watching this video & it’s great that it’s informative of the pros & cons. 8 years ago my kids wanted a Pomsky as our second dog because the online pictures looked soooo cute (puppy pics). I did research but there wasn’t much info around but it lead me to discover the Finnish Lapphund breed. I researched that breed and it was the right fit for my family. Pleased we did as we now have two Lappies 8 & 2. Look similar to some Pomsky’s but are very very different.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great pomsky content, gents. Your videos were very useful in our decision to get a pomsky puppy, and understanding what to expect from him.
Good luck :)
This is great guys! You are spot on, as a Pomsky owner I was agreeing through the whole video! 💖 Especially the daycare part. I love when I take him and it does last until the near day! #lifesaver 🙏🤣
Haha. You gotta do what you gotta do :)
I love your pomsky!!! I got one 3 months ago and Ive been experienced the amazing puppy phase.
What's your puppy's name? Boy, girl?
I love my pomsky he’s my son, I wouldn’t trade him in for the world though at night I didn’t know how much they like to howl 😂 and they’re super smart he knew how to get out of his cage the first night and he is able to get to things very easily even when blocked. The fur is everywhere but they make up for their cuteness. To all pomsky owners we should make a group chat, I want to see more Pomsky’s.
😂😂😂
💯. So agree with all you say. My Pomsky is 8 months now.
Thanks :)
The shedding and digging are my pet peeves. But we still love him none the less.
Nothing you can do about shedding. But digging should improve with age :)
We have a pomsky. She is a love. She is sturdy and healthy. 15 in. at shoulder, looks like a fox, smart as heck, big husky snowshoe paws. In contrast to video, our Ginger is very cuddly. Like velcro to us (in a good way)!
How old is she?
I have a Husky and it sounds like my girl all the way. Lol expect for a lot more fur and howling.
I have had many dogs before her and would not reccomend any Husky or cross breed to first time pet parents.
It takes 2 of us to meet her needs.
The energy is extreme!
Thanks for educating on the Pomsky.
My girl is a rescue. I got her from someone who got her from someone who got her from the pound.
Please please think long and hard about any dog so they are not rehomed or dumped.
There are plenty of dogs needing adoption!
I love her and she's a great dog as long as she is you point out exercised enough.
Yup. If your Pomsky is going to be Husky-like, and most of them do, parents have to deal with all the similarities, albeit at a smaller size.
I ride my bike with the dog. I ride and she runs. It gets her energy out. She will run 1 and occasionally 3 miles once or twice a week. And I do not mean she trots around. She runs! She only stops to wait for me. The rest of her energy is exerted in the back yard fence. She is also cuddly. She is not stubborn like some say huskies are. Her biggest problem is being too excited when meeting new people or dogs. It is like she is frantic to get to them.
:)
You just described Dusty perfectly. :) We love our little terror. LOL
Haha, lots of Pomskies are like that, especially puppies. How old is Dusty?
@@JamesandLaurent Dusty is turning 8 months in a week. I have grown up with rescues all my life. Never experienced a puppy before and have been in the perfect state of mind for Dusty. Love this Pomsky. He is quite the character.
Beedi started calming down around 18-24-months-old. But she still has lots of energy and still requires lots of walks and playtime.
All so true! Mochi is a little loving monster! Biggest thing I wish I knew is that he makes so much noise! He's so vocal, but not like a husky. He communicates through growling, chuffing and that high pitched Pomeranian yap. Little guy never shuts up!
Luckily, we don't have that problem with Beedi. She is not as loud as our previous dog.
Mine are really chill. I love them so much
Beedi is a lot more chill now that she's almost 5. But she still has lots of energy that needs to be burnt.
Can some of them be lap dogs or are none of them lap dogs
Some of them are. It's just the luck of the draw. But typically, they are more aloof.
I had never heard the name Pomsky before, but now I know them because of your video😛🤗🥁💥 So cute and active💐🕺👯🥰🎶
For sure
Way more work than a Yorkshire :)
I adopted a pomperkee (Schipperke and pom).... High spirit, active, very smart and a trickster.... Very loveable, ok with kids not with some men. He is bold and brassy. 15 lbs... Has his own toy box, mostly vegetarian, will eat some raw meat. Had to understand the Schipperke breed... impressive breed... Toby is every inch the Schipperke personally.... color very light tan with white, tail tightly curved over butt. Love him dearly....
Then you should watch our video about Pomskies vs. Klee Kais. Klee Kais have some Schipperke in them.
Sooo accurate. Mine is not a picky eater, but everything else lines up. 11 mo now. He'll sleep on my lap sometimes if he's really tired, and more attached. More Pom (only 17 lb), but still ALL of the husky energy.
They eventually slow down, usually around 2 1/2 years. But still stubborn and still active.
What people need to realize with Pomskies, they are mini Siberian Huskies, plain & simple. I've owned 6 Siberian Huskies throughout my life & there is absolutely 0, none, no difference at all between having a Husky or a Pomsky except for the size. Siberian Huskys have always been my favorite breed, now I have a Pomsky & see what they are, it's a win with me because I get to keep my shoulders and even though Pomskies still can jerk you off balance, it's still not as bad as a Husky jerk.
We got a Pomsky for the same reason. All the troubles of a Husky, but in a smaller package😂😅😂.
Oh my god just first few seconds is full of cuteness!😩🥰☺️
When she's not a monster, she is an angel 😅
The video was amazing. Full of great info & humor!! Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve got a 6 month old pomsky at home.
I thought it was going to be a different ball game when we acquired her. but although she’s such a bad pup sometimes, my wife and kids love her.
Just be prepared to replace anything you leave out without direct supervision because a pomsky will chew it up when you least expect it.
Beedi was a chewer too as a puppy, but it went away when she settled down.
You guys are so cute hahaha I love the “squirrellies”
Beedi loves them too :)
My almost 3 year old pomsky loves my 21 year old daughter! He’s definitely chosen her as his human and loves to play, go on walks, and cuddle with my daughter in her bed at night!
They often have their favorites :)
Best to get a purebred Pomeranian because they are awesome! All the traits mentioned in this video are Husky traits. Pomeranians are all of the good without the bad and they are adorable too.
We used to have a Pomeranian, but we wanted to have a Husky without having a big dog :).
I’ve never seen a Pomsky that looks like ours but yours looks EXACTLY like Niza!
Ha :)
3 walks?!?! Mine has to freaking take 6-8 MINIMUM and STILL acts like nothing is happening
And for the record, he gets at a minimum 0.5 miles per walk and usually 0.75 to 1 mile if not way more
And as for not a lap dog, picky eater, etc...soooooo damn true!
The other thing i never understood was just the sheeer amount of barking, yapping, and howling. I knew it would be like a husky or Pomeranian - but holy cow, hes so smart and lets you know when he's hungry, bored, or has to party.....but its usually thru loud loud barking
Oh boy! Beedi's morning walk is 2 to 3 miles, 5 miles on weekends. That's the only way to get her tired early on :)
i wish i'd known what a hard core little heart stealer my daughters pomsky would turn out to be. True she was pretty self centered little toy addict when she was a pup but she grew up to so loving and caring/affectionate and has a unique relationship with each of us in the extended family, we're all pretty much madly in love with her...
Is she more Pom or more Husky?
I currently have a 5 month old pomsky and my biggest thing with her is that she eats everything. She does not destroy stuff. She will eat anything loose. I have had to buy her a muzzle so that I can take her outside. We couldn’t take her out without her picking stuff up and eating it before we could get it from her. I’ve had many calls to the vet because she has either pooped or thrown up something she has ate. So hopefully now with the muzzle she can get more exercise.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, she grows out of it.
My husband and I when we were younger we had three huskies, we did a lot of sport with them today, at over sixty years old, I fell for a pomsky thinking that its size would be more in line with our age, in fact this cute three month old thing is an electric battery ⚡ and it is sometimes exhausting, in fact I am surprised to see how much she looks like a husky by her behavior, (to the point of going to bury an ear pig that she couldn't finish), we'll have to adapt 😅 that being so, we love it 😍 but I really underestimated the pomsky, thank you for your videos on the pomsky it's very instructive
Haha. We wish you had watched our video before getting your Pomsky 😅😅😅.
@@JamesandLaurent No regrets 😊, anyway it's too late 😉 and then it forces us to stay in shape 😂
Beedi started calming down when she was 18 months old. Still lots of energy, but more manageable.
Oh boy. Me and my family are seriously considering getting a pomsky, and from what I’ve seen, it really all depends on the dog itself. I hear they’re basically wild cards. Should we get one for our family?🤞
It all depends what you're looking for and whether your family can handle all the energy and required walks and playtime.
I breed pomskys. Have bred them for 7 years. The big difference is where you get your pomsky. Large breeders with many dogs tend to result in pomskys with behavior problems and lack of cuddling. I am a small breeder and my puppies grow up in a house with a family and other dogs teaching them l, us loving on them til they go to their forever home at 8 weeks. My clients tell me all the time ...best dog I have ever had. I'm convinced the early interaction and love a pomsky gets before 8 weeks old has a huge impact on their temperament and behavior. The only thing I agree with is that they do shed...alot.
Absolutely! Beedi is very social with other dogs and with people, and we attribute it to her upbringing before we got her at 8 weeks.
More by luck than skill, my basenji is a real snuggler - I guess it makes sense. Basenji’s are an African breed and have no undercoat - they get cold easily and really want your body heat. So I have a bunch of coats for her and she has a litterbox to use when it is too cold or rainy outside
There are trade offs with every dog
Am enjoying hearing about the pomsky!
Glad to hear :)
Beedi is sure a cute dog! My family has a mini poodle and she is high energy too but I think Beedi could give her a run for her money. 🐕🐩
Beedi is going to turn 4 in July, and she is finally starting to calm down :)
I have a new pomsky pup and he has been testing my patience more than my 5 yr old. Love him but got damn this dog is wild. Any training tips are highly appreciated.
Zac George has the best training videos on RUclips. Otherwise, patience. Beedi started calming down when she turned 2.
Just got one. Almost 10 wks old. But I’ve owned a Pomeranian and an American Eskimo in the past. So I think ill be find. I live solo and work from home so he will get plenty of attention and walks!
Our previous dog before Beedi was a Pomeranian-American Eskimo mix, and we were not fine 😂😅😂.
I have a Pomsky we named him Buddy Bear Payne. I was not aware of what I was getting when I got him. I have had Huskies and we have a Pomchi and I have had chihuahuas and Pomeranians. I did not realize how much more energetic they are. I am still trying to learn about the Pomsky. He is 1 year old. He is up to date on his shots. I do my best to work with him on teaching him things around my work schedule. he is doing alright all things considering. But still I have a lot to learn.
Another 6 to 12 months to go and he will start calming down 😀.
All pomskies are different. Mine does have a lot of energy but I don’t need to walk her that much lol
Lucky you :)
My dog is a half breed of Pomeranian and ancient Greek breed called Kokóni. She is also extremely picky with food. Is it the Pomeranian in her? Because your pomsky also does it
Not sure which side it is because Huskies are known to be picky with food too.
I wish I had known all of these five things before I got my pomsky. I love him. He's wonderful but... For a 6-month-old he is destructive as all get out. He's very smart, but he's as stubborn and determined as the day is long. I'm 68 and he really gives me a go. Keeps me hopping all day long. My husband, my kids and my grandkids too, all have to help because he is almost more than one person can deal with. The other thing that I think should be on your list is that Huskies are very mouthy dogs, not meaning talkative although they can be but they use their mouths a lot and so he has a tendency to grab at things with his teeth. People should be aware of that because if you have small children around it can be very scary for them. I wouldn't trade him for the world, but I do wish I'd had a lot more information before I got him. Thank you for this video. It really proved that I'm not crazy for what I keep thinking I'm seeing!
We wish more people watched our videos before, rather than after getting a Pomsky :). If that makes you feel better, the two milestones we noticed were 18 months, when Beedi clearly started calming down, and 2 1/2 years, when she fully settled. She still has lots of energy. She still needs lots of walks. And she is still stubborn. But she is no longer the crazy puppy from the initial months.
Great info thank you for your time
Our pleasure!
Your video is spot on, but I ❤my Pomsky!
❤ to you too.
If you want a cuddly little snuggler, get an Alaskan Klee Kai!
We have a whole video about differences between Pomskies and Klee Kais :)
Your videos are just the cutest
Thanks. But that's because our Pomsky is the cutest 😁😍.
In other words, it's a husky in a smaller package.
From someone who's had 2 huskies. ☺
Yep. All the trouble of a Husky, but that you can more easily carry 😁.
Aww!😍 ur dog is so adorable and cuteeee!!!😆😍
Most of the time she is 😆😆😆.
He/She is a beautiful 🐕 dog so precious adorable and sweet.
She now is. It wasn't always the case :)
The squirly line up 😂
Haha :)
I am so happy to say my pomsky isn't destructive. And is well trained not to touch anything. Taught him since, baby. The only thing is if he sees food on clear sight .... that will be gone less than a minute lol.
You trained him well :)
I got my pomsky a siberian husky friend and they get along so well!
We bet they do. How about you though?
I got my Siberian Husky a Pomsky friend and they get along great too
I have an 8 yr old siberian and a 3 mth old pomsky I wish I knew about the talking maybe just mine cos not seen it mentioned love to find out thanks
As in talking by the Pomsky? They don't talk as much as Huskies do. They do something called the Pomsky scream, which is in-between barking and howling.
My pomskis are good with older people and younger they like to play but also love to sit on my lap
Beedi only cuddles when she's really tired :).
My Pomsky must be the best of the best. He was just repossessed by the rescue, as the people made him an outside dog because they had a baby. He is the best. He's very well trained and behaved. The only problem I have is that he's a picky eater, and there are only a few kibbles I will feed my dogs, due to allergies. He does like The Farmer's Dog, so if he needs kibble, we'll have to figure that out with our vet.
Lucky you :)
We have had Melina Filomena Panzera, our Pomsky, for almost a year. She is like the video says, energetic, can be destructive and very smart. She LOVES TO PLAY and will follow you around bumping your legs with her toys.
She is good natured with other dogs for the most-part. Now and then she meets a dog she doesn't care for but that is rare. She uses pee pads like she was born knowing what they are and how to use them.
We do kennel her when we are at work. About $5-600 worth in losses around the house inspired me to get her a NICE BIG CRATE. We have a blanket covering the back half of it so it doesn't feel like a cage. She has enough room for a blanket to lay down, toys and chews, a small bowl with some water that rests on one corner of the pee pad. The joke is that it is her Apartment. She loves it. She goes in there to lay down and chew or retrieve a toy and then hangs out.
We NEVER use the crate as punishment and she is most agreeable about it. She often tears up the pee pad in the back of the crate, but not the pads we keep on the floor in a corner for "uh-oh!" moments.
She is pals with Jynxy, our cat. But she does get a little carried away at times and we have to call her off the cat. But seriously, we joke they are girlfriends. You should see them walking side by side, shoulder to shoulder through the house giving each other loving side glances. Smh. Funny girls.
I find that through play she tends to be much more cuddly than she is when we are not playing. I rather appreciate that she doesn't want to be on top of me all day every day. There is no lack of affection from her however.
We keep her hair clipped down to just above the undercoat. She overheats very easily. She will just be sitting there, at night, the house is calm and quiet and she is panting. When we keep her hair clipped she doesn't do that at all. In fact she still lays on the cold hardwood floor during the North Eastern winter with her belly pressed to the floor even with a fresh grooming.
She is a joy. She is sweet, funny, friendly, social, intelligent, peaceful, a talker times but not a barker. Thank the gods for that. She definitely knows her her true guardian is, but does not leave anyone out. She spreads her affection around evenly.
MUSH MUSH!!!! She loves to dig in and pull. We work with her to know how to behave on a leash in some situations, but really the pulling when we take her out to the field to relieve herself isn't such an issue. It is in her nature and we don't advocate taking away all of their natural tendencies to suit us. My philosophy is, "just be you girl". And her philosophy seems to be, "if you're not first, you're last!". haha
When I don't want to be pulled I keep her leash very short and have her walk next to me. It takes a few minutes for her to figure out what I want in that moment but it gets better quickly and she is still learning.
She uses her teeth to touch everything! She will quickly, but gently take your fingers in her teeth and move your hands. She has the wettest tongue! Golly, if you let her, she will give you a bath. It is rare she bites down at all and only when a toy is involved and it is an accident. She is working on being more careful.
She is intelligent. She is energetic and this means socialization and outings are important. She loves to dig in the sand but doesn't seem to want to dig in the dirt so much. She LOVES to swim. She went right in the very first time she was near water. She is skilled as an otter. Ocean waves overtook her once and spooked her a little but she has no fear of them now.
Her prey drive is pretty intense so it is unlikely we will be able to walk her off leash...ever. She runs for the joy of running. She has no idea where she is going or what is going on but she shoots off like a rocket. So...safety first. This one will always have to be leashed. Sorry girl.
Thanks for all your comments. Sounds like Beedi at the same age :)
Pomskies can have a very sensitive stomach as well like Huskies. This was not something I was expecting since my 13 years old Pomeranian has a stomach of steel. My pom was super annoyed with the puppy when we brought him home since all he wanted to do was play and Pomeranians don't play, they like to be pampered. It's been two years so the Pomsky is less hyper now so they get along now.
Glad to hear :)
I was thinking of getting a pomsky with my family or a golden lab or golden retriever, what do u think
If you can handle the energy, get a Pomsky. But if you cannot guarantee them multiple walks and attention, get a quieter breed.
lMy son and his wife purchased a Pomsky. His name is Onyx. Onyx is so sweet and extremely smart. He knew right off who was the head of the household. My son was fussing at him because he grabbed a paper towel and begin to chew. He ran behind my legs and hid underneath my lounger. I was his protector. Love this little man.
Sounds like a Pomsky 😂😂😂.
Yes, since they have had him, I just love this little man. He sees me and makes a mad dash as if he is so happy to see me. Then he plays for a few minutes. He loves to go to a large window I have and look outside. I swear he acts just like a baby.
My chip is a lap dog and loves snuggles
Lucky you :)
Pomskies are so darling I want a pomsky.They are high energetic 🐕 dogs.Shes Beautiful.
As long as you know what you're getting yourself into :)
One of my Pomeranians was a very picky eater! He would rather not eat than eat dog food. He actually got sick and dehydrated often from going on a food strikes! It is extremely hard when your dog just won't eat!
Sorry to hear that.
I have both a husky and a Pomeranian... do you think I could handle a pomsky?
If you had your Husky as a puppy, then you should be all set :).
Hi there we love your videos. We have just purchased a sweet f2 girl Pomsky and are waiting for her to arrive. We were wondering if we could possibly email you pictures for her as well as her parents to see if you guys could give us an indication of what she could look like when she's grown? The parents look very different so it's hard to know. Thanks. Amber & Matt
Yes of course! Our email address can be found in the 'about' section of our channel page.
@@JamesandLaurent Thank you. We sent you on your Instagram account as couldn't find your email address 🙂
My pomsky king is very hard to train he's 1 and a half now. What should I do
One and a half is when he should naturally start calming down (although gradually). But you might want to take him to obedience class if you're not able to figure it out by yourself.
Great video! My white Pomsky is just the same i knew what is was getting into thanks too your videos. But i have no idea if he gets long hair or short hair is there any way too tell which he will get?
You can normally tell by looking at a puppy whether they will have long hair or short hair. We have a video called 'What do adult Pomskies look like' that shows before and after pictures of a lot of Pomskies. Maybe you can find one that looks like yours. ruclips.net/video/mtsWPFgIt1g/видео.html
@@JamesandLaurent yes i saw it helped a lot thank you! I think he will remain fluffy than!
Glad we could help :)
I have a pomsky and agree with all of the 5 items listed. Truth.
Haha :)
I’m wanting one thx for video
Be careful what you wish for 😂😅.
now let's breed a Pomsky with a Chiweenie for a real good time - lmao
Haha :)
@@JamesandLaurent It would be a Pomchiskyweenie .....
I have a 8 month old pomsky who’s more of husky. She’s so destructive but she always at all times needs my attention. She whines if she notice’s I’m up and not playing with her. Then she’ll try to steal my socks,under wear, and especially my flip flops. I call her a monster but she’s also just my little baby and I love her so much🥺 also now she can’t sleep without me😭
Haha, sounds like a Pomsky puppy. Some will get better over time.
We have 2 (litter mates) that are 16 weeks. I'm close to retiring and they have more energy than I could ever imagine. Call me crazy but love having them. They can find any piece of lint, paper, etc. I don't notice much hair because I use my Dyson daily and sometime twice. Love my fur babies. They just require more attention than any child ever could and I raised 4 of them.
Haha! You are so brave to have two Pomsky puppies at the same time. It should start getting better in a couple of months. Good luck!
So they bark constantly?
Not really. If they are more Pomeranian, they might. But if they are more Husky, they often don't. And their bark is not really a bark but not completely a howl either. It's called the Pomsky scream.
I love pomskys!
So do we :)
How aggressive are they to new people?
Like everything with Pomskies, it depends. Beedi is great with new people. Most of the other Pomskies we know are the same. But we can't talk on behalf of every single Pomsky.
If I get a smaller Pomsky would it be more likely to be a lap dog cuz it would probably have more Pomeranian
Possibly, but it's hard to predict. If you get it from a breeder, some breed Pomskies that are 3/4 Pom and only 1/4 Husky. If you really want a lapdog, you're better off getting something else.
I have a male 7 mth old pompsky....paper is his thing.. litterally walked out on my back porch and walked back in and the dog had TP my kitchen..litterally grab the edge of the TP from the roller in the bathroom walked around the dinning room and the island in the kitchen...it was still attached to the roll! He also will pick tissue out of tissue boxes if they are in his area of reach. Toy destroyer..along with anything he deems as a toy (i have had pit puppies better behaved then him, lol). Also mine like water a lot he has his own pool or he will try and jump in my tub. Also first time ever having a long haired dog..the struggle is real brush everyday and by end of week I could stuff a pillow.
Some Pomskies love water and others hate it. But they all love tissues and TP 😂😅😂.
Excellent information, thanks!
But today, we're kind of desperate because our 11 month Pomsky boy is EXTREMELY PICKY for his food.
We have tried kibbles dry food different flavors/brands, toppers dry/wet, home made healthy food and even fast food like Flame Broiler or Yoshinoya. And everything works for a day or two and we got to a point where we technically had to chase him with his plate of food !!
Does anybody have any idea or suggestions for me please ??
Thanks.
Did you watch our video about picky eating? Switching every so often is our best advice.
My pomsky is the first dog I've ever had that I just cannot allow off lead other than in my garden, which clearly restricts his amount of exercise. One of the delights of dog ownership in the past has always been going for a walk with a dog that rushes off and keeps checking back to make sure I am still there. I'm never going to be able to enjoy that with this dog. Outside, if his nose is working, his ears switch off.
Beedi's nose works wonders too. But she sure is stubborn and self-minded.
Hey i don’t know when you got beady but I think that my wife and I have her sister haha she has the exact same mannerisms has our dog
She'll turn 3 in a few days and we got her from Perfect Pomsky. None of her siblings looked like her though.
I have a Klee Kai and I call him "devil in an angel suit"!
Same here. Looks are deceiving 😂😅😂.
My Pomsky is 8 months old. He still has no leash manners I’ve tried putting in hours in and he has severe separation anxiety. I feel isolated.
We're sorry to hear that 😢.

I’m getting a F1 pomsky and I’m soooo worried about how he/she will react to my cat 🥺
We don't have first-hand experience, since we don't have a cat. But we've seen it work both ways.
How is it working out with your cat? Melina, my Pomski, and our cat Jynxy are besties. Melina can get a little overbearing on kitty cat when they play sometimes. But we call her off the cat and peace follows. They do have a prey drive. Cats need escape routes and places to perch where the dog cannot go. We have a 5 story, two tower cat tree. We feed her up there on level 3, her hammock is on level 4. There is also a baby gate blocking off the room with the litter box. This give the cat places to which she can retreat when she doesn't want to play.
Forced the first and second one they can sit on your lap. They can sit on the couch all day. They can be cuddly, if they like that lifestyle.
